Gameplay

Sardon is one of the most dangerous Knights ever faced by Guardians. Upon spawning, he casts a debuff called "A Dark Burden", which prevents players from using their jump ability, blocks their vision the closer they are to him, and causes damage when at a higher elevation at him. This works in combination with Sardon's preferred method of attack, which is unleashing a shockwave with his sword (the same as using a sword's super attack). This heavily-damaging shockwave travels along the ground and causes disorientation and being launched into the air upon a successful hit. Sardon is also a surprisingly nimble target, making it hard to land sustained fire on him. But once defeated, the Hive form a different plan to secure Crota's power.
